- 1 tablespoon (grated) Fresh ginger root
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 Ripe banana
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 teaspoons (optional) Honey or maple syrup

Instructions
Peel the ginger root and grate it using a fine grater. Measure out 1 tablespoon of grated ginger and set aside.
Juice a fresh lemon to yield about 3 tablespoons of juice. Remove any seeds.
Peel the ripe banana and break it into smaller chunks for easy blending.
In a blender, add the grated ginger, lemon juice, banana, pineapple chunks, and coconut milk.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, about 1–2 minutes.
Taste the smoothie and, if desired, add honey or maple syrup for additional sweetness. Blend again to incorporate.
Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend for another 30 seconds, or until the smoothie is chilled and frothy.
Pour the smoothie into glasses, garnish with a slice of lemon or a sprinkle of grated ginger if desired, and serve immediately.
